<p>I won’t delve into the laundry issue as it’s been discussed ad nauseam and I think I even posted on the linked thread.</p>
<p>As for locking up one’s laptop- overkill, mate. On the broader topic of theft- it’s much rarer at bs than you’d think. With everyone’s stuff being open to theft at least part of the time [mxers generally lock their doors but of course personal items are still left places daily], lots of theft would be detrimental to the community. However, it does happen from time to time. Some things are just to be expected [unmarked/out-in-the-open goodies in the fridge]. Items of greater value go missing [and turn up!] far more than they get stolen. Just keep your door locked [if possible] and your valuables hidden [or in a personal safe if your school provides one- mx does].</p>
